SUMMARY:Neon Silent Disco
DESCRIPTION:Deep South Dance turned up the neon for an unforgettable Silent Disco in Fish Hoek\, bringing our young dancers together for an evening of music\, dancing\, friends and plenty of glow-in-the-dark fun! \n\n\n\nHeld at the Sea Scout Hall in Fish Hoek\, the Neon Silent Disco gave dancers the chance to swap the studio for the dance floor\, grab a pair of headphones and dance the night away. \n\n\n\nLIGHTS. HEADPHONES. DANCE!\n\n\n\nWith neon lights\, glowing accessories and music pumping through individual silent-disco headphones\, the hall was transformed into our very own neon dance party. \n\n\n\nThe evening was split into two sessions so that dancers could enjoy the event with their own age group: \n\n\n\n\n11 years and under: 17:00 – 19:00\n\n\n\n12–16 years: 19:30 – 21:30\n\n\n\n\nAnd because no good dance party should happen on an empty stomach\, there was also a tuckshop available throughout the evening. \n\n\n\nIt was a brilliant opportunity for dancers from around the Deep South to get together outside of classes\, make new friends and — most importantly — just have some fun! \n\n\n\nEVENT DETAILS\n\n\n\n📅 Saturday 28 March 2026 \n\n\n\n📍 Sea Scout Hall\, Fish Hoek132 Upper Recreation Road \n\n\n\n🕺 11 years and under17:00 – 19:00 \n\n\n\n💃 12–16 years19:30 – 21:30 \n\n\n\n🎟️ Tickets: R150🍭 Tuckshop available \n\n\n\nGlow bright.
